Another FSU Football Commit Locks Down Recruitment Amid SEC Interest

Another FSU Football Commit Locks Down Recruitment Amid SEC Interest describes how Florida State is trying to stabilize its 2027 recruiting class after multiple pledges backed out. In recent weeks, the Seminoles saw four-star defensive back Mekhi Williams, four-star linebacker Gregory Batson, and three-star cornerback DaYon Cooper decommit. Florida State then secured a new addition as three-star linebacker Olrick Johnson III announced his commitment, choosing the Seminoles over Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Arkansas, North Carolina State, and Nebraska. The article notes LSU also entered the race after Johnson III committed. Johnson III, who recorded 100 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, and one forced fumble during his junior season at Harrison High School, stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 215 pounds. The 247Sports Composite lists him as the No. 1202 overall prospect and No. 107 LB in the 2027 class.
